I really need to find out who wrote the scene where Grace is putting on the hazmat suit, knocks his glasses awry, and instinctively reaches up to fix them only to knock his hand against the helmet
For one thing it's just a very good, funny split-second gag. For another, as someone who wears glasses and occasionally needs to wear a blast suit at work, I need to thank them for the incredibly realistic representation
Breakdown of what kind of bad boss the sect leaders are:
Lxc: nonprofit ed who got promoted way too young with no management experience who is excellent at executing the mission and whose heart is in the right place but bless his heart you would not put him in charge of a pet rock because the pet rock would die. Gets away with an incredible amount of dysfunction because he's really nice. The person in charge of operations is g-d's strongest soldier and whatever they are getting paid it's not enough.
Nmj: ex military blue collar union guy. Thinks he's very fair and moral and thinks he runs a tight ship because he whips out drill sergeant stuff when people aren't acting right, meanwhile the amount of hazing going on would shame a british prep school. Confuses "yelling at staff" for "addressing the problem." If you're bringing problems with your coworkers to him then you're the one at fault. Man up and work harder. Does inspire big loyalty though.
Jiang Fengmian: checked out head of a family business who swears *he's * not the one bringing his family problems to work, it's his family doing that (he is absolutely doing that). Always says he's going to give people bonuses and always forgets. Actively jeopardizing the business with the family shit he refuses to deal with. Lets his kids and wife terrorize staff and then at most is like "now now, see this is why I can't finalize a succession plan."
Jin Guangshan: do I even need to say it.
Wen Ruohan: fully insane and delusional tech ceo who genuinely believes that like. If they don't build a superintelligence on the moon then the libs will win. Basically peter Thiel.
Wei Wuxian: startup nutcase. Sends you 10 emails for immediate reply at 3am. Misses your scheduled check in because he just HAD to try his new idea Right Now. Ethics and testing are for people who won't be remembered by history. Eats your lunch out of the fridge even when you lable it.
Jiang Cheng: he's on 30 under 30, his org is tight, they are famous for getting things done and done well, but nobody who works there smiles and its because boss man has never said a single nice thing about anyone's work and is always pissed off. Regularly makes staff cry by just saying mean shit. Sadly, he does not mean any of it and doesn't understand why turnover is so high. He does pay really well and the perks are great but is that enough to make up for him taking everything personally and making everything personal?
Jin Guangyao: look i know I am not an unbiased observer but I do think he was a really really good boss ok. Knowledgeable about all aspects of the operation, knows everyone's name and personal details, patient and accommodating. However it is really hard to get him to fire someone even when they are obviously and persistently terrorizing everyone else, which does cause a lot of problems and is very very frustrating to work for because you just wind up having to put up with xue yang despite his hr file being a mile long because boss man feels really bad about firing people. Except for that one intern but that's Very Confidential :). Everyone is shocked when the FBI raids the office and even more shocked when its about him having used company resources to cover up a murder.
@sweetpollyolliver is so correct
so what you're gonna do is you're gonna trim the top off a bulb of garlic, using the knife's edge to take off the tip of every individual clove, that's important. you're gonna place the garlic face-up in a square of tinfoil, drizzle with olive oil, wrap completely in foil, place in baking tray, repeat with a copious amount of garlic bulbs. you're gonna put that baking tray in an oven set to 375-400°F, for 30-50 minutes, until soft and browned. you're gonna toast some good bread, slather generously with butter and honey, maybe a tiny lil bit o' salt. and then. you're gonna SQUEEZE. OUT. THAT. ROASTED GARLIC. onto the butter honey toast. and you're gonna eat it. food stolen directly from the plate of the gods. that's what you're gonna do.
the garlic. it beckons you
It occurs to me that "1920s gangster doing a cooking show while holding you at gunpoint" is an untapped market.
We've had normal cooking shows. Now we need period piece cooking shows in character.
I love whoever runs Los Mis Madrid social media accounts so much. Wtf is this why is it so canon.
I added English subtitles because the world needs to see it

I wrote a ten page paper in 48 hours with nothing but a new pack of tea bags, a ton of leftover italian food, and the original sources I'd picked up three weeks prior (then neglected to write the paper about, oops). I did forget how to spell the word 'the' about 46 hours in, and had to look it up because I thought my spellchecker was lying to me.
It wasn't.
Now I write for fun, and was shocked to find out my 'oh bitty side-piece fic that I poke at when my brain doesn't want to do my main fic' was standing at 59 pages when I went to upload a new chapter yesterday.
That is to say. AI can bite my ass.
KICK THE CAN!
Letās play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.
To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.
the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now
And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!
alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?
under 18, AI is a net positive
under 18, AI is a net negative
18-29, AI is a net positive
18-29, AI is a net negative
30-45, AI is a net positive
30-45, AI is a net negative
46-60, AI is a net positive
46-60, AI is a net negative
over 60, AI is a net postive
over 60, AI is a net negative
Question 2/3
How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?
Frequently (multiple times per month)
Often (multiple times per year)
Occasionally (a couple times per year)
Rarely (once every couple of years)
Never :(
Question 3/3
If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?
under 18, more inclined
under 18, less inclined
18-29, more inclined
18-29, less inclined
30-45, more inclined
30-45, less inclined
46-60, more inclined
46-60, less inclined
over 60, more inclined
over 60, less inclined
Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

Because I'm still not over this movie:
I'm living for all of the evidence of a whole world coming together to build the Hail Mary. There's a Japanese flag on there, there's something written in what I'm pretty sure is Russian, there's the NASA logo, and there's other bits I haven't managed to suss out yet.
The movie would have been stupidly long if they did a literal adaptation of the book, but there's still so many little bits to show how this was a whole-world effort.
(though if they want to make a little short with Grace meeting the guy who made the beetles, I will not complain, that guy's insane)

Happy Pride!
Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions
I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.
PROJECT HAIL MARY (2026) dir. Phil Lord, Chris Miller
𫵠YOU. STOP WHERE YOU ARE
say something nice about prev!!! find something cool about them!! give their blog a skim!!
compliments are FREE TO GIVE so GIVE THEM OUT. pls. thamnk. (ā āā ā¢ā į“ā ā¢ā āā )
Made a post before about how the uncredited sexy rocky voice was totally done by James Ortiz, but I wanted confirmation on this so I hopped over to cameo! He gives some really good behind the scenes bits here too.
all that AND he has amazing hair??
LPT: Don't throw your junk mail away. Use it to to help the USPS instead!
Next time you get a credit card offer in the mail, or a junk piece of mail that includes a prepaid envelope or postcard, don't throw it away! Send the envelope back with a blank sheet of paper inside, or don't fill the postcard out, but still send it back. The company that sent it to you had to pay the USPS for postage on each one they get back. This is a way to support the USPS by doing very little, and sticking it to the annoying companies that want all of your money.
In the 90s we would send companiesĀ āhate mailā by stuffing prepaid envelopes with things likeĀ āblanksā (flat heavy metal pieces), a roofing shingle) and layers of other competitorsā mail or junk news. This is because the company would have to pay more upon recieving the junk mail. It eats into them. It actually somewhat reduced our junk mail returnables, I think.Ā Send that mail yāall.Ā
Except please don't do this to nonprofits!!
If you do this when you get a donation request or something from a nonprofit, you'll be forcing small organizations with very little overhead to deal with the incoming mail and paying for the postage.
Credit card companies? YES. Personal loan offers? ABSOLUTELY. The chain store you've never shopped at who bought your info from a competitor? BY ALL MEANS.
But don't do this to your local "Friends of the Library" fundraiser or homeless outreach program or anything like that. You'll be draining their limited resources that would be better used elsewhere.
Feel free to do it to groups like Salvation Army, PETA, or Susan Komen cuz fuck them.
Hey y'all. I was talking to a retired postmaster about this.
She was 100 percent for this, bit please PLEASE do not use metal pieces or roof tiles. It can jam the sorting machines and cost the office millions to replace it.
Cardstock? Other papers? Fine. They are flexible. They go through the machine without issue.
So go ahead, send the junk mail, but limit it to paper.
Interestingā¦

Stratt, being cranky and rude to someone: I don't have time for this, I have humanity to save-
Grace, without his morning coffee in his system and too many nights without proper sleep, reverting to teacher mode: Ehi, you can't use saving humanity as an excuse every time you're an asshole to someone! Let's regulate our emotions, redirect our frustations, bring basic respect into our interactions with others, and see how the world doesn't end any sooner, shall we?
Stratt: ...
Grace: ...
Grace: I'm so sorry. I'm mortified. Please don't kill me.
Stratt: ... I have a meeting with at least twenty old, stubborn, very powerful men in fifteen minutes. Can you do that again?
Grace: I-
Stratt: You will do that again.
Stratt: Please.
